Greetings!

Another round of our Free Character Transfers starts today!

Players of the following servers will be able to login to the Mythic Account Center and begin transfer of their characters starting now.

Please read the entire FAQ provided in the account center during the Character Transfer process thoroughly to ensure your move goes as smooth and quick as possible!

There are cases where you may lose items if you do not properly prepare your character for transfer. This also applies to the Guild Transfer functionality (You MUST initiate the Guild Transfer process before transferring the character who is leader of your guild).

Source Servers

Darklands
Ironclaw

Destination Servers

Gorfang
Volkmar
Badlands

LOL!

Dude they need to keep combining servers imo.

I'm trying out my Tier 3 shaman on Badlands and beside a decent amount of scenarios poping the zones are virtually empty.

Kind of sucks that with so little servers this game cant seem to fill them.

I think it's safe to say that games like VG, SWG and DAoC have more subs than WAR right now.

Yea i recently transfered my guys from Praag to Dark Crag, and i remembered Dark Crag being very busy.. sc's would pop in second's. Now it's slow as heck, and im left wondering..  would i have more fun watching paint dry.

Crap! So where am i gona play IF i come back? Now im gona be affected by the maint if it happen during US down time, which will be my prime time.

Cant believe that AUS pop have become so bad that not even 1 server can be maintain.

/sign...

Sad, the oceanic players is falling apart about which servers to transfer to... already such a thin pop, now they cant even come to an agreement about where to go, damn you Mythic

Not at all, not even in the same ballpark.

Those games have around 50k - 100k subs, while WAR still has at least 250k.

The 2 different servers where my RL friends play on are very active

While I doubt its near the 50K figure quoted, unless Mythic chooses to publish the figure, the world will never know.

But continuing merger of servers is not the sign of an increasing sub base.

Here in the EU they maybe have like 50-60k subs left. (most optimal figures).

I hardly doubt EA Mythic still has 190k-200k subs on those US servers that are left.

Ofcourse it's always nice to dream and pretend to be in Fairytale land and ignore reality.

2 different servers are healthy? 2? Well - BFD! They don't each hold 100,000 subs.

No way Warhammer has 250k sub now. No way.

The way it's going I wouldn't be surprised if AOC has more subs than WAR now.

OMG WAR has nowhere near that many subs, but believe me when I say it has between 5k-10k roughly and this was last month, I havent checked since then so it could be worse since this release!

No, it's more than 10,000. I see 4 or 5 NA servers at med or better in prime time.

Amazing how quickly this game tanked given that it wasn't that buggy; I guess it just goes to show how game play always has the most weight and nobody is willing to pay for severely diluted WoW combat (especially with the new F2P MMORPG's that are LITERALLY hacked versions of WoW).

Stop saying stupid things. It was (and still is) very buggy.

Lol whatever, I don't play WAR anymore.

Thre are 31 servers, some low some high, most medium. Lets remove the Australian servers, because they are merging. So tha leaves 29 servers.

If you take 5k subs per server, which is very low, then they have at least 155k subs. This can scale upwards to 10k subs per server, which would equal to 290k subs.

But think what you will. I know 2 of my RL friends still play and are having fun with lots of other players, thats enough proof for me that the game is still alive.

290k subs is been extremely optimistic, there's been some reports based off the last EA report that with there online earnings there subs should be around 200k mark.

I am telling you guys, I have seen with my own 2 eyes, there is less than 10k people, and it saddens me to this day, I had major hopes for this game!

There aren't 31 servers left....there may have been some time ago, but there have been several rounds of server transfers since then.

Looking at Warhammer's own server forums, there are currently 14 servers......8 of which are source servers, and only 6 of which are destination servers.

Source servers are - Ironfist, Vortex, Monolith, Magnus, Skull Throne, Darklands, Ironclaw, Praag

The remaining destination servers are - Badlands, Dark Crag, Gorfang, Iron Rock, Phoenix Throne, Volkmar

This suggests to me that the (current) aim is to reduce the number of active servers to 6, which doesn't bode well.  One day, some servers may re-open or, being pessimistic, there may be further server merges.

Edit : Glad to hear your friends are having fun - that's what counts at the end of the day.  The game is still alive at the moment, which is good, but the prognosis looks poor to me.

Edit2: @Metzli - D'oh!  Yes, I did.

@Eudaimon

I suppose you forgot that not all players live in US? What about all the english servers in EU and the german, french, spanish and other none english servers around the globe?

EU currently host 13 servers: realmwar.war-europe.com/realmwar/ServerStatus.war
